Understanding Your Cost Options And Insurance

Figuring out your insurance benefits can be tricky, but that doesn’t mean you should miss out on the treatment your physician prescribed.
If you are starting STELARA®: Your doctor’s staff is going to initiate the benefits investigation. Before leaving the office, make sure to ask your doctor’s staff to investigate both medical and pharmacy benefits.

IMPORTANT: STELARA®can be covered in 2 ways: through your medical and/or pharmacy benefits. If your doctor’s staff or pharmacy says that you’re not covered, make sure to ask them if they’ve checked both benefits. Don’t assume that the medical benefit has been investigated.

Everyone’s coverage situation is different, which is why we want to help you understand what’s available to you. We have Case Coordinators that can help find resources that may help meet your needs. Use the chart below to understand your cost support options and to see if you qualify for our Instant Savings Program.
